State-of-the-Art Review in Endocrinology

With a celebration of 100th anniversary of the Japan Endocrine Society (JES) just close at hand in 2026, Endocrine Journal is expanding a special program entitled “State-of-the-Art Review in Endocrinology.”

World-renowned physician-scientists and basic scientists who won a series of awards from JES as well as brilliant endocrinologic researchers nominated from JES monthly contribute fascinating articles to Endocrine Journal (EJ).
